The Cincinnati Bengals are rather lean at the linebacker position, although LBs Vincent Rey and Rey Maualuga are expected to compete for a starting role. The team doesn't have much depth outside, and it seems unlikely the club will try to move Maualuga even if he loses out on the starting job to Rey.

Cincinnati Bengals LB Rey Maualuga (knee) was taken off the field on a cart in the first half of the Week 8 game against the New York Jets. He was moving, and the team said he is questionable to return after hurting his left knee.
